an admission

Okay, I admit it. I haven't installed Snow Leopard yet, not on my main computer. I know, I know, I'm a bad Mac girl. I know. It's running on my second box in my office, but not on the computer that I use for everything all the time.

Do I have to turn in my fangirl card if I don't have it installed within the first week of release? :(

  Is this an oblique dig at the reputation of your company's own operating system releases, and the public's general [lack of] immediate adoption? If so: heh. (If not: what is your point?) b

  My point was to say that I'm a bad fangirl. :) I have to admit that I have no idea how Apple's OS adoption rates compare to Microsoft's OS adoption rates.  I've heard anecdotally about users being slow to upgrade to Vista, but I don't know what the actual numbers look like.  Additionally, given that the Windows team has continued to add features to XP via service packs (according to Wikipedia, SP3 was released in April 2008 and included new features and features backported from Vista), whereas Apple doesn't add new features to an existing OS when the new OS has been released, I'm not sure how valid the comparison would be anyway.

  Oh, it's not about being worried, just that I haven't had long enough to take my computer out of commission to do it. It'll be longer than 45 minutes, anyway.  I always do a clean install, never an upgrade.  So there's backing up to be done first. :)

  I think this time an upgrade would be 100% safe (not like from Tiger to Leopard). Snow Leopard is much better than Leopard. Much more refined, etc... I have a Time Machine external backup drive but fortunately I never had the need to restore something from it. :D Snow Leopard roars, oops, rocks! Really!
